My guess is that you have an old version of pip. Try first running pip install --upgrade pip.

[dchatterjee172]

/life # pip install --upgrade pip
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages (19.3.1)

Another guess: is this an x86 or x86_64 linux installation? We don't support x86, only x86_64.

Otherwise this issue is probably in the "contributions welcome" category. We don't have the engineering cycles to debug installation issues with every possible Linux distribution.

[dchatterjee172]

This is x86_64

/life # cat /etc/apk/arch 
x86_64

Can you give me some directions for debugging?

[hawkinsp]

I'm unsure. This is a pip issue, not a JAX issue. The question is why pip doesn't think the available wheels for jaxlib are installable on your system.

[joaogui1]

I think this issue can shed a light on the problem, and it seems alpine linux has problems with pip wheels in general

[hawkinsp]

I think @joaogui1 has answered this one: Alpine linux doesn't support pip wheels. So none of the distributions we provide are installable. This isn't a configuration we support ourselves. You can try building from source, if you like. Contributions are welcome!
